The Boulders, RiverWoods Exeter
The Boulders, Riverwoods Exeter, a 64-bed continuing care retirement community at 5 Timber Ln in Exeter, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, is administered by Rebecca A May. Opened in January 2025, the community operates as a supported residential care facility licensed by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. It earned the LeadingAge Standing Ovation Award, a recognition reflecting organizational commitment to quality senior services. The facility accepts Medicare but not Medicaid.
The residential model centers on independence paired with flexibility. Units include full kitchens, new appliances, and individually customizable living spaces. Dining operates through a flexible meal points system, letting residents choose when and where to eat across multiple venues; a design that enables varying routines and preferences within a shared community.
The facility provides 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, and respite care. Its specialized memory care program creates an environment where residents living with dementia engage in activities and programming tailored to their specific needs, with an emphasis on fostering connection and well-being. Amenities supporting active living include a salon, spa, raised garden beds for gardening engagement, on-site transportation and shuttle service, WiFi, housekeeping support, and a structured activity calendar featuring art classes, history lectures, and social events. Religious services are also available.
Pet-friendly policies and fully-furnished guest rooms invite family involvement; all visitors sign in and out at reception.
Located 2.3 miles from Exeter’s city center on a car-dependent campus, the community sits 2.84 miles from Exeter Hospital.
The campus-based model and flexible service architecture appeal to older adults who value control over their living arrangements and dining patterns while remaining in a community where care needs can be met without relocation.
The Boulders suits active, independent adults seeking residential senior living where skilled care, memory care services, and rehabilitation capacity remain available on-site
